You Don't Know Me
By Jann Arden
I
am honouring my father ERNESTO CELIS ROXAS today, you are one of the best fathers
in the whole world wide! I truly miss my
Papa who is now in Canada. Sometimes, I do regret working abroad and being away
from him. I feel that I lost 10 long years being with my father. I do go home
in the Philippines for a vacation but one month is not enough. And now that he
is in Canada, I really don’t know when will I see him again. It’s really great that
the internet and other chat services were created and even though he is miles
and miles away, we get to talk to each other like he is just a step away from
me, but sad to say I can’t hug or kiss my Papsi.
I
admire my Papa so much, when Mama passed away he became our mother and father
at the same time, which I know was hard for him. But he has surpassed it with
FLYING COLORS! He is very family oriented, as much as he can gather all his
children and still be with him even at this age of ours, he will do so. Well actually
he wants us to follow them in Canada if not immediately, soon! ^_^ Inshallah!
We
love you so much Papa! We pray for your good health and more years for you, as
you still need to walk me down the aisle to the altar …. When … duh still don’t
know! Hehehehe!
Another
important father in my life is my brother PAOLO ERNESTO ANCHETA ROXAS. He has been
very protective with me and my siblings. He is a cool father to his kids and
has always made us laugh in his own little way! He may have his flaws but we
still love him! Nobody is perfect and his imperfection makes him a real person
inside and out! He may not be as showy as what others would expect but with his
good intentions you would know and feel that he cares a lot for his kids and
dreams big for them. He may be experiencing trials but I know he will surpass
all these and I have faith that God will bless him with all the happiness in
His time. I love you bro and we will always be here for you no matter what!
I
dedicate the song “You Don’t Know Me” to both of you, this is actually one of
the favorite songs of Papa which he loves to sing in karaoke. I am singing it in acapella coz I was not able
to find an accompaniment and unluckily I don’t know how to play any instrument.
I miss
you and I love you PAPA and PAOLO so much!
